Darius Johnson Update

he probably will get offered by everybody after tonite. Guess what at some point you got to outrecruit somebody-you can't take everybody's leftovers every year and expect to accomplish the goals Jones is being paid 2 million a year to achieve. Jones needs to get his man-convince him that he will get an opportunity to catch 100 passes and be an All-american. Time to Cowboy up. If he can't outrecruit any Big 12 team-everytime they offer then we hired the wrong Coach. TCU does it regularly-for most all its recruits

Coach Reinebold is recruiting him so we will see how it plays out.

Our recruits this year would give us a good crop of receivers for the future.

Wideout - Chris Frazier
Slot - Darius Johnson

Slot - Deonte McDade
Wideout - Chayse Joubert

They would light it up.

Joubert caught 4 passes this year and has about 20 in his entire high school career over 3 years. Frazier couldn't make the transition to receiver at Skyline this year-basically was no factor until they moved him back to QB. I'd say those guys have talent but should be considered long term sleepers at the receiver position and almost assuredly will be redshirted

That's why I used the word future.

Randy Rogers mentioned that Darius is comitted to SMU "for now", but will get a lot more offers.

Darius has a great kick off return

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:38 pm

almost ran the 2nd half KO back but was tackled by his own man-several stunning moves though

With so much talent in this program, Darius could be the bell cow.

that Shaun Lewis No. 11 on defense is going to be a stud-just a Junior

Johnson almost ran for a TD running from the split backfield-barely stepped out with clear sailing after some great moves and a stiff arm. He is so dominating they are putting a red circle on Johnson before the play to show where Johnson is lining up

Yeah, I saw that too. lol!
